there are things in live and photography other than resolution.
and attaching labels.
of course different lenses render differently. it's just that the
resolution is usually not among the differences, in 6MP cameras
at least.

shooting with the lens that came with the camera: a Sigma 28-125.

(c) it's fairly light.
